Good morning everyone!
Alena here!

The start to our tour has been truly fantastic! We have been staying since last night in a beautiful area of Lake District , in a little heaven between Carlisle and Penrith. We have had a day of rehearsals, then a great meal and then some of us went for a walk, some for a run, some stayed and relaxed in the cottage. Ashley and I were the ones who went for a power walk, but I just couldn't help myself to stop now and then and take some pictures of these truly gorgeous surroundings. And weather has been absolutely perfect today.

We have now played our first concert - in the beautiful studio in Lake District between Carlisle and Penrith. The concert was in aid of Chidren Eye Cancer Fund, and I think this concert managed to raise about £500 for this wonderful Charity organisation.
And also it was so nice to see so many familiar faces in the audience - from Carlisle, Penrith and Appleby and even my English family came!  Thank you to all the audience who came to our concert, for our amazing hosts and organisers of the concert - Richard and Emma Deakin for fantastic time!

This morning we are starting our Tunnell Trust tour in Scotland! First stop -Gate House of Fleet!

See you soon Scotland!
